Pacific Grove police, probation officers, and state parks officials arrived at the sheriff's house at noon. A woman answered the door and allowed officers to enter and search an apartment that is attached to the back of the house.

Jacob Miller was wearing a black hoodie sweatshirt and kept his head down as he was escorted out in handcuffs. Officers searched part of the house and seized several items as evidence while Jacob Miller was taken into custody.

Jacob Miller is currently on probation because two years ago he pleaded no contest to dealing methamphetamine out of an apartment attached to the sheriff's house. Deputies said they found methamphetamine that was packaged for sale, hydrocodone, and marijuana inside Jacob Miller’s apartment after they arrested him in 2011.

On Tuesday the sheriff told KSBW that his son has been back living in the apartment for a year and as of 1 p.m. he did not know why his son was arrested again.

“If you’re going to love your children, you do it in the tough times and the good times. We’re doing the best we can loving and supporting him, without enabling him," Sheriff Miller told KSBW Tuesday.

The sheriff said he believes his son is being held in the Monterey County Jail in an area separated from the rest of the jail's inmates. After he is processed he will be transferred to a different jail for his protection.

Why was Jacob Miller was arrested for the third time in three years?

Tuesday's arrest may be connected to recent burglaries at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, an oceanfront hotel in Pacific Grove. The Asilomar Conference Grounds were built on state park property next to Asilomar State Beach, and State Parks Monterey Sector Superintendent Eric Abma said three hotel rooms were broken into last week.

"We have evidence to believe Jacob Miller was involved," Abma said. IPads and phones were among the items stolen.

Scott Miller said he was not aware that his son was involved with drugs until his narcotics division arrested a then-25-year-old Jacob Miller in 2011. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail and three years probation, and he was able to dodge jail time because a judge allowed him to serve his sentence in a sober-living residence.

The sheriff's son was arrested again in March 2012 when he failed a drug test while living in rehab.

His defense attorney said Jacob Miller he struggled with a long-term addiction.
